For example, some shoe boxes have doors and drawers, and there is a demand to provide a structure that allows a purchaser to attach a handle with a simple operation even in simple assembly furniture. In order to reduce the price of products while maintaining a certain level of strength,
The fixing method by screwing was common.

[0003]

However, in the fixing method by screwing, a tool such as a screwdriver is required at the time of assembly, the advantage of ease of assembly is reduced, and parts such as screws that are easily lost are attached. It also becomes necessary to leave it. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a handle attaching device which is capable of attaching the handle with one touch and which is excellent in attaching stability of the attached handle.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, the present invention is a handle mounting device comprising a handle and a mounting member for mounting and holding the handle in a mounting hole formed in a body to be mounted such as a door or drawer, wherein the handle is inserted into the mounting hole. A plurality of shaft portions whose tip portions project toward the back surface side, and a contact portion that abuts the surface of the mounted body when the shaft portions are inserted into the mounting holes. A collar portion is formed on the mounting member, and the mounting member is provided with locking pieces at positions corresponding to the plurality of shaft portions, and each locking piece is formed with a long hole extending in one direction. The width of the long hole is smaller than that of the flange portion, and an insertion hole into which the tip of the shaft is freely inserted and removed is connected to one end of each long hole and the other end of each long hole. Side, the position of the back side of the locking piece is displaced to the back side rather than the one end side, and the back side of the locking piece is located between the one end and the other end of the long hole. Is formed on an inclined surface, and the handle can be attached by inserting a plurality of shaft portions of the handle into the insertion holes of the corresponding locking pieces and sliding the attachment member in one direction. To do.

According to the handle attaching device of the present invention,
Since it suffices to slide the mounting member with one touch and it is not necessary to use a screw member, it becomes possible to perform the mounting work of the handle very easily and quickly. Further, the handle has a plurality of shaft portions, and since the handle is attached by pulling the plurality of shaft portions to the back surface side with a single attaching member, the attaching stability of the handle is excellent. It is also possible to perform mounting with less rattling.

The mounting member can be formed by a suitable method such as press-molding a spring steel plate or injection-molding a resin. Also, by forming a space on the front surface side of the locking piece of the mounting member, the locking piece elastically deforms in the attached state of the handle, and this elastic force pulls the handle to the back side. It is preferable to set. In addition, in this specification, a "front surface" shall mean the side surface of the attachment side of a handle.

In the above-mentioned mounting device, it is preferable to form a recess on the back surface of the locking piece on the other end side of each elongated hole, into which the flange is fitted. According to this, when the mounting member is slid, the "click" occurs at the moment when the brim fits into the recess.
It is possible to easily understand that the mounting is properly completed, and it is possible to prevent the mounting member from gradually sliding in the removing direction after mounting.

Further, the mounting member may be provided with an adjusting member between the one locking piece and the other locking piece for setting the position of the mounting member in the front-back direction with respect to the mounted body. As such an adjusting member, for example, a screw which is screwed into the adjusting member and whose tip portion abuts on the back surface of the mounted body can be cited. With such an adjusting member,
Immediately after the handle is attached or even after a certain period of time has passed, the handle is pulled back by operating the adjustment member to move the attachment member away from the attached object. It is possible to eliminate rattling.
